POV
A Miracle
Great piece on Jerry and Diane Jampolsky
by Paige Peterson (Conversation, December).
One thing that surprised me was that there
was no mention whatsoever about the book
A Course in Miracles, which is what absolutely
changed Jerry’s life back in 1975. His work
since is based upon the book’s principles.

Big Impact
Just a note to say how impactful the article
on eating disorders (“The Last to Know,”
February) was for many who read it. Through
your magazine, you have opened the eyes of
many of those with eating disorders and of
parents and friends, who now have the knowledge to help their loved ones. I had one young
woman tell me last week that the article helped
her come “out of the closet” because she no
longer felt it was only “her” issue. Although I
resigned as president of the board of Beyond
Hunger over a year ago, I am still as committed as ever to widening the knowledge about
this terrible and misunderstood disorder.
Again, many thanks for an excellent article
and the excellent use of the information pro-
vided to you. VIKKI ADAMS, VIA EMAIL
Impressive
I just read the article by Javier Zamora (“Canal
Street,” March) and was so impressed with his
writing and first-person account of living in the
Canal. Having lived in Marin for 30-plus years,
I have driven by the neighborhood a thousand
times but hardly knew what it was like to be a
resident there. What courage and fortitude he
had at age 9 and still continues to exhibit as an
adult. Keep writing! S YLVIA K WAN, VIA EMAIL
